What to Expect When You Visit
Wondering what to wear? Look no further than your closet! Some of our guests prefer their Sunday best, while others feel right at home in jeans and a t-shirt. Just hop in the car and head our way.
As you arrive at the school campus, look for our green Restoration feather flags to guide you to the correct entrance. Follow the drive to the back of the building, where you’ll see additional signage and be welcomed by our concierge team. Feel free to park wherever is most convenient for you and head on in!
If this is your first visit, we have a special gift bag just for you—including information about our ministries and a small surprise. We’d love the opportunity to welcome you personally and give you a quick tour so you can feel comfortable and at home.
Bringing children with you? Our nursery and children's environments are led by trusted, background-checked adults. For nursery-aged children, we’ll ask you to complete a brief check-in form at drop-off. Kids in preschool through 6th grade stay with their families during our time of worship through singing and are then invited to age-appropriate classes during the message.

Pastor Brice: A Journey of Faith and Leadership
Pastor Brice’s spiritual journey began at Eastgate Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor Mark Wash. At just seven years old, he accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior and was baptized at Eastgate Baptist Church, laying the foundation for a life devoted to ministry.
As a teenager, Pastor Brice participated in a mission trip to Canada where he sensed a clear calling to surrender his future to Christ, committing to serve however the Lord would lead. In early adulthood, he received a distinct call to pastoral ministry.
He began his ministerial training at Graceworks Church in Milford, Ohio, again under the mentorship of Pastor Mark Wash, and continued at Mission Baptist Church in Cincinnati under Pastor Tim Rains. During this time, he completed an Associate Degree in Bible Theology.
In 2017, when Pastor Tim Rains was called to lead Woodville Baptist Church in Blanchester, Ohio, Pastor Brice followed to continue his development and took on the role of Youth Pastor. His service at Woodville was marked by dedication and spiritual growth.
Tragically, in 2018, Pastor Rains suffered an anaphylactic reaction resulting in an anoxic brain injury, which led to his resignation. During this difficult season, Pastor Brice felt a strong calling from God to “Go Forward,” reminiscent of God’s commission to Joshua following Moses’ passing. With the affirmation and support of Woodville’s board of directors, Pastor Brice stepped into the vision God laid on his heart and began the church plant of Restoration in Fayetteville, Ohio.
On August 4, 2019, Restoration Church held its first gathering at the Fayetteville Community Park Shelter with just four people in attendance. Within four months, the church experienced growth and moved into a rented storefront on Route 68 in Fayetteville. By 2021, continued growth prompted the rental of a second unit in the plaza, which remains the current meeting place of Restoration Church.
Pastor Brice’s journey reflects unwavering faith, steadfast obedience, and a heart for restoration—committed to leading others into a deeper relationship with Christ.
